Attention Smarty Mamas of Graduating High School Seniors!! Team Smarty is hosting a dorm decor trunk show by our local faves, the ladies of Leigh Deux, a design company based out of Charlotte that offers a fabulous collection of headboards, pillows, duvets, and other furnishings for dorms and more.

We fell head over heels in love with the entire Leigh Deux line the first time we laid eyes on their instagram feed! So much that Smarty Ansley decided to host a trunk show for all graduating senior girls! So grab your girls and your gal pals and head to our super cute trunk show. Here are the details!

Smarty Dorm Decorating Tips?
Even if you’ve already picked out your dorm decor at Target or Bed Bath & Beyond or wherever, you HAVE to check out Leigh Deux’s trademarked Headboard Pillow. They invented it, and perfected it. There is nothing like the Leigh Deux Headboard Pillow – they come in every color you can think of, so they will match everything. And these are a MUST for all girl dorm rooms!

What Smarty tips do you have for moms when decorating freshman dorms?

Many girls will have a full or queen bed their second year so it’s nice to invest in a queen size duvet and fold it at the foot of your bed your freshman year when you are in a twin. It’s smart to loft your bed up to the highest position so you can grab the extra storage under your bed. We make an extra long bed skirt that comes in two pieces like a curtain… it’s named the ‘Curtain Call’. It runs on a tension rod so you can hide all the stuff under your bed but easily open and close it for access. College kids are notorious for never washing their sheets! So I tell moms to put down several fitted sheets on top of each other so that when the top sheet gets dirty they can pull off the top one and have a clean one underneath! Our bunk boxes are the bomb for easy foot or side-of-bed storage. Great for cell phones, laptops and iPads! Lastly, I tell parents to try to emulate a dorm a space that feels homey. At LeighDeux we believe creating a space that fosters comfort, stability and success are key to helping students make a life-changing transition. The LeighDeux philosophy translates beyond the dorm into everyday life!

What if you and your roommate have different styles?

If you and your roommate have different styles, that is just fine. Our collections are designed to coordinate with one another without being too matchy-matchy. But it’s perfectly fine to do your own thing too.

Favorite piece of dorm gear?

What colors are most popular right now for dorm rooms and bedrooms?

We are so over the neutral grays and whites. Color and pattern are back for the bedroom and we’ve got tons of it. Plus it’s far more forgiving and shows less dirt! We love our lavenders, navy and teal blues!
